"Do ladies generally suppo,tthe reformp'

"Very handsomely. indeed. Dress, has
been published less than a year, and | am
g%ratitied with reports from all over the
world Of the acceptance by Ladies in tho
very highest rank, of the reflsm which
Dress advocates.n
Mrs. Miller is o comely oma Ia appear
ance, and is very enthusiastic in Ter dress
reform agitation. AS the New YORK Graphic
says: 'SGe herself is young and attractive,
with a figure so tremendously developed as
to suggest strength, power and beauty"
The reform which she is urging with so
much eloquence and grace seems to be the
coming one. Mrs. Jenness-Miller has the
advantage Of high social position, being of
the samo family Of the late Wendell Phil

where all the styles arc determined, and
where the change must begia,' she says.
"How do you endure so much work and
keep so well.n
II dress myself according to my own
ideas, and furthermore, l give myself the

You see I understand the laws of life too
well to be, or remain i'll, but strange as it
may seem for one to say who is opposed to
medicines on general principles, If l find
myself tired or feeling ill l fly to the ole
single remedy which | do endorse, and that
is Warmers safe cure, which gives new en-

Mrs. Miller insists thata all women can and
must Dc beautiful, ana VIII Oe so II Lnoy

"Will you not state, briefly, in just what
your reform cOnsists!'
"Oh, with pleasure! l propose a jersey
fitting garment to be worn next to the body,
making Of woman O. vision Of loneliness!
III. sOvcr this ! put a cotton OF linen gar

one complete body covering garment called
'leglcttes.'
". I'VE abandon the corset entirely as
totally unfit for use, in its common form,
and we substitute therefor a supple sup

common sense can design"
Mrs. Milier's words Of counsel. which
every woman should heed, will ~undoubted-
" give to the women of America some new
IDEAS upon a subject so very near to each OF
them.
